Energy Knights Inc (Guild)

Recruit

Recruit is the basic rank for all who join the guild. There are no requirements at the recruit level. This is for all who are both new to the game and new to the guild. We don't expect you to know anything, and we will teach you and help you as much as we can.

Members

For a recruit to petition to become a member, they must display several things, either to a veteran, or higher player. At a minimum, they must be able to display the following:

Knowledge of basic game mechanics. This includes how gates work, the different damage types, heat, how to use gate maps both in the arcade and while in a level (Click the gear in the top left of your screen while in a level). They must have basic understanding of how to play the game, and must demonstrate capability. There are no gear requirements for Members, however, we do prefer they have Tier 2 access (2* gear). If you need help getting here, do not hesitate to ask others, especially veterans and officers for help! They will do runs with you!

We expect our members to be team players. We also expect our members to be competent runners. You don't have to be a pro, but we do expect you not to be daft ~_^

If you wish to become a member, you must request it of a veteran player or higher. If they deem you worthy or capable of becoming a member, they will promote you, or will send a message to an officer or guild master and inform them of your ability. It's not hard, just do a run or two with them, and if they say you're competent, we promote you ^_^

Veterans

We expect a lot out of our veteran players. Veterans are the backbone of the guild. Veterans are expected to be highly social players, which includes friendly chatting with other members while online, and answering questions. Veteran players are expected to be able to help out any other guild members with any run, of T2 or lower. We expect them to be able to do any T2 boss with a group or solo (as you prefer). We do not require any T3 ability or experience to be a veteran, but it is highly desired.

Veterans are expected to submit reports to either an Officer, or Guild Master(Preferably Jace-Jarak) at least once a week. In person, or via 'compose message'. It can be as simple as "Hey, I'm still alive!" if you do not play often or do not see others online often, as we have members around the world.

What we like in reports is simple: If you did some runs with guildmates, give us what you think of them! Who did well, who needs help, if you think anyone deserves a promotion (or petitioned you for a promotion). Mostly, this is how the guildmasters can keep track of who deserves a promotion. You do not need to do this every run or anything like that, just every now and then is helpful. It is required of you to let an officer/master know if someone petitioned you for advancement, and you think they deserve it. If they still need work, then you can simply tell them so.

Officers

Officers are just like Veterans, but they have the ability to invite people into the guild, and have the ability to promote and demote other players. We expect everything of Officers we do of Veterans, only more-so. We expect our officers to be highly social, and eager to help out lower ranked guild members. We do like our Officers to be able to do T3 runs, at least in a group setting. We do not require FSC/Vanaduke ability, since we are a social guild, and not a 'boss-run' guild, however it is always a plus.

Being an officer is a privilege, and a responsibility. All officers are expected to submit a report weekly to a guild master (preferably Jace-Jarak), on what they've been up to, and what their interaction with other guild mates have been. This includes any promotions they've handed out, and people they have invited into the guild, and so on. If nothing of the sort happened, a simple "I'm still alive!" is enough.

Officers ARE NOT ALLOWED to promote anyone they invited into the guild. This is precautionary measure. They may petition other officers or higher to promote those they feel deserve it. If you were invited by a friend who is an officer, you must find another officer to petition for a promotion.

In order to be promoted from recruit to member or member to veteran, there are a few simple steps, outlined above but repeated here for convenience.

To be promoted, you need to petition run with a veteran or officer (officers include GMs) and they will do a run with you. If they deem you worthy enough, they may forward the results onto an officer or higher, who will take you onto another run as well. You need at least 2 reccomendations to be promoted. After these runs, you will be quizzed by our officer ranks, if we deem you a decent enough player.

If you are not deemed good enough yet, we will guide you so that you will be the next time. Our goal is to make you a better player, and thus, a better guildmember.

During the quizzing by at least 2 or more officers, we will ask understanding of game mechanics, and how to function within a guild group run. The quiz should be easy if you've made it this far. This is also a time for you to ask questions as well, about anything you wish (The guild, ranks, gear, etc). Once again, we want you to be a better player and want to help you!

Second Half of all tiers are more profitable than others! This means any part after the clockworks crossroads terminal, where basil the merchant is, will earn you more CR (crowns) than the floors before it.

So be a friend and let other guild members join you at the half way point if you have open slots available in your party! Even if they just want to 'go solo' after that. It helps everyone out ^_^
